历代志下 29

1 希西家登基的时候年二十五岁，在耶路撒冷作王二十九年。他母亲名叫亚比雅，是撒迦利雅的女儿。

Hezekiah began to reign when he was twenty-five years old; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.

2 希西家行耶和华眼中看为正的事，效法他祖大卫一切所行的。

He did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that David his father had done.

3 元年正月，开了耶和华殿的门，重新修理。

He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of Jehovah, and repaired them.

4 他召众祭司和利未人来，聚集在东边的宽阔处，

He brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the broad place on the east,

5 对他们说：“利未人哪，当听我说：现在你们要洁净自己，又洁净耶和华—你们列祖 神的殿，从圣所中除去污秽之物。

and said to them, "Listen to me, you Levites. Now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of Jehovah, the God of your fathers, and carry out the filthiness out of the holy place.

6 我们列祖犯了罪，行耶和华—我们 神眼中看为恶的事，离弃他，转脸背向他的居所，

For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of Jehovah, and turned their backs.

7 封锁廊门，吹灭灯火，不在圣所中向以色列 神烧香，或献燔祭。

Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel.

8 因此，耶和华的忿怒临到犹大和耶路撒冷，将其中的人抛来抛去，令人惊骇、嗤笑，正如你们亲眼所见的。

Therefore the wrath of Jehovah was on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has delivered them to be tossed back and forth, to be an astonishment, and a hissing, as you see with your eyes.

9 所以我们的祖宗倒在刀下，我们的妻子儿女也被掳掠。

For, look, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.

10 现在我心中有意与耶和华—以色列的 神立约，好使他的烈怒转离我们。

Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with Jehovah, the God of Israel, that his fierce anger may turn away from us.

11 我的众子啊，现在不要懈怠；因为耶和华拣选你们站在他面前事奉他，与他烧香。”

My sons, do not be negligent now; for Jehovah has chosen you to stand before him, to minister to him, and that you should be his ministers, and burn incense."

12 于是，利未人哥辖的子孙、亚玛赛的儿子玛哈，亚撒利雅的儿子约珥；米拉利的子孙、亚伯底的儿子基士，耶哈利勒的儿子亚撒利雅；革顺的子孙、薪玛的儿子约亚，约亚的儿子伊甸；

Then the Levites arose, Mahath, the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the descendants of the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah;

13 以利撒反的子孙申利和耶利；亚萨的子孙撒迦利雅和玛探雅；

and of the descendants of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeuel; and of the descendants of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;

14 希幔的子孙耶歇和示每；耶杜顿的子孙示玛雅和乌薛；

and of the descendants of Heman, Jehuel and Shimei; and of the descendants of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.

15 起来聚集他们的弟兄，洁净自己，照着王的吩咐、耶和华的命令，进去洁净耶和华的殿。

They gathered their brothers, and sanctified themselves, and went in, according to the commandment of the king by the words of Jehovah, to cleanse the house of Jehovah.

16 祭司进入耶和华的殿要洁净殿，将殿中所有污秽之物搬到耶和华殿的院内，利未人接去，搬到外头汲沦溪边。

The priests went in to the inner part of the house of Jehovah, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in Jehovah's temple into the court of the house of Jehovah. The Levites took it, to carry it out abroad to the Kidron Valley.

17 从正月初一日洁净起，初八日到了耶和华的殿廊，用八日的工夫洁净耶和华的殿，到正月十六日才洁净完了。

Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of Jehovah; and they sanctified the house of Jehovah in eight days: and on the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.

18 于是，他们晋见希西家王，说：“我们已将耶和华的全殿和燔祭坛，并坛的一切器皿、陈设饼的桌子，与桌子的一切器皿都洁净了；

Then they went in to Hezekiah the king within the palace, and said, "We have cleansed all the house of Jehovah, and the altar of burnt offering, with all its vessels, and the table of show bread, with all its vessels.

19 并且亚哈斯王在位犯罪的时候所废弃的器皿，我们预备齐全，且洁净了，现今都在耶和华的坛前。”

Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign threw away when he trespassed, have we prepared and sanctified; and look, they are before the altar of Jehovah."

20 希西家王清早起来，聚集城里的首领都上耶和华的殿；

Then Hezekiah the king arose early and gathered the officials of the city and went up to the house of Jehovah.

21 牵了七只公牛，七只公羊，七只羊羔，七只公山羊，要为国、为殿、为犹大人作赎罪祭。王吩咐亚伦的子孙众祭司，献在耶和华的坛上，

They brought seven bulls, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven male goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom and for the sanctuary and for Judah. He commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of Jehovah.

22 就宰了公牛，祭司接血洒在坛上，宰了公羊，把血洒在坛上，又宰了羊羔，也把血洒在坛上；

So they killed the bulls, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: and they killed the rams, and sprinkled the blood on the altar: they killed also the lambs, and sprinkled the blood on the altar.

23 把那作赎罪祭的公山羊牵到王和会众面前，他们就按手在其上。

They brought near the male goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly; and they laid their hands on them:

24 祭司宰了羊，将血献在坛上作赎罪祭，为以色列众人赎罪，因为王吩咐将燔祭和赎罪祭为以色列众人献上。

and the priests killed them, and they made a sin offering with their blood on the altar, to make atonement for all Israel; for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.

25 王又派利未人在耶和华殿中敲钹，鼓瑟，弹琴，乃照大卫和他先见迦得，并先知拿单所吩咐的，就是耶和华借先知所吩咐的。

He set the Levites in the house of Jehovah with cymbals, with stringed instruments, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was of Jehovah by his prophets.

26 利未人拿大卫的乐器，祭司拿号，一同站立。

The Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.

27 希西家吩咐在坛上献燔祭，燔祭一献，就唱赞美耶和华的歌，用号，并用以色列王大卫的乐器相和。

Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering on the altar. When the burnt offering began, the song of Jehovah began also, and the trumpets, together with the instruments of David king of Israel.

28 会众都敬拜，歌唱的歌唱，吹号的吹号，如此直到燔祭献完了。

All the assembly worshiped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.

29 献完了祭，王和一切跟随的人都俯伏敬拜。

When they had made an end of offering, the king and all who were present with him bowed themselves and worshiped.

30 希西家王与众首领又吩咐利未人用大卫和先见亚萨的诗词颂赞耶和华；他们就欢欢喜喜地颂赞耶和华，低头敬拜。

Moreover Hezekiah the king and the leaders commanded the Levites to sing praises to Jehovah with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. They sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshiped.

31 希西家说：“你们既然归耶和华为圣，就要前来把祭物和感谢祭奉到耶和华殿里。”会众就把祭物和感谢祭奉来，凡甘心乐意的也将燔祭奉来。

Then Hezekiah answered, "Now you have consecrated yourselves to Jehovah; come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of Jehovah." The assembly brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a willing heart brought burnt offerings.

32 会众所奉的燔祭如下：公牛七十只，公羊一百只，羊羔二百只，这都是作燔祭献给耶和华的；

The number of the burnt offerings which the assembly brought was seventy bulls, one hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to Jehovah.

33 又有分别为圣之物，公牛六百只，绵羊三千只。

The consecrated things were six hundred head of cattle and three thousand sheep.

34 但祭司太少，不能剥尽燔祭牲的皮，所以他们的弟兄利未人帮助他们，直等燔祭的事完了，又等别的祭司自洁了；因为利未人诚心自洁，胜过祭司。

But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: therefore their brothers the Levites helped them, until the work was ended, and until the priests had sanctified themselves; for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.

35 燔祭和平安祭牲的脂油，并燔祭同献的奠祭甚多。这样，耶和华殿中的事务俱都齐备了。

Also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and with the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of Jehovah was set in order.

36 这事办的甚速，希西家和众民都喜乐，是因 神为众民所预备的。

Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, because of that which God had prepared for the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
